Is the country threatened with civil war?
I see the situation easing again. The "coup" has a similar aura to the attempted coup in Turkey in 2016. At that time, Erdogan succeeded in regaining control, and in the end it even consolidated his position.
In the current developments in Russia, I see parallels. Not in the superficial course of events or the information disseminated by the media. Rather, the strategic planning in the background is in some ways comparable.
There is much more staging in politics than one might imagine.
For Putin, it is less a matter of regaining control of the situation (if he ever lost it) than of redefining the rules externally.
